HERALD's REMARKS III the II. $ q.
Montgomery mentioned by the 'Bank-
er's Journal in the foregoing, is the
h. S Montgomery who promised the
support Of the Long Island Inter-Oeean
to the various Republican candidates if
they would loan him certain sums Of
money, and is the same Montgomery
who is now abusing and seandalizing
them because they would not, then those
who have been disposed 10 have some
sympathy for him because of mis- aIleg-
ed poverty, will withdraw such sym
patty and will regard him in the proper
light as q man who does not scruple TO
raise money by disreputable methods.
The HERALD has no disposition to per-
secuJe any man even bad man. We
not only do not have within US The
spirit OF persecution, but are quick 10
forgive and are always disposed to I'M
pute good motives instead OF bad 10
men whose conduct looks mysterious or
suspicious. The HERALD has no i'll
will against H. S. Montgomery, and
the only part we have taken in this
whole matter has been TO defend the
Republican candidates from the repeat
ed persistent and apparently malicious
assaults OF Ii. 5. Montgomery and the
Inter-Ocean. This assault has been
made without a shadow OF justification.
Montgomery proposed to the candi-
dates to make the Inter-Ocean their
especial organ if they would 'loan"
him SO much money. They declined,
and now he is fighting those candidates
violently, and not only them, but the
HERALD tor doing its duty by defend
ing them from those assaults. Let
voters read the Article from the Bank
Journal, and let them then decide
whether they will vote against honest
Ben Morton, S. j. Hartman and Jacob
Nipps because those candidates refused
to put up money to II S. MOntgOm-
cry for the support OF the Long island
paper. Let them decide Tor themselves
whether the II. S. Montgomery who is
now editing the Long Island Inter
Ocean, is the H. S. Montgomery who
deals in green goods'' described in
the Bankers journal above referred 10.
If they come to she conclusion that he
is the same Montgomery, then they Will
hardly be influenced by him TO vote
against Nipps and the other Republi-
can candidates, because they refused
to let him have the sum he demanded
as the price of the Inter Oceans sup
port. The Bankers journal may be
seen at the HERALD Office. The banks
generally are subscribers to it.
-kditor Covington is beginning TO
think that he would about as soon be
anything else as an editor. Last week
he Joined with Montgomery to down
Nipps on spelling and when Mr.. Nipps
went up to the Democrat Office and de-
manded the letters CoYington pretend
ed he had copied in his paper, and
talked pretty loud to Co7ingtOn. the old
Captain squirmed around in his chair
and exclaimed: "Oh I wish DR.. Tay-
lOr was here; he is more of a journalist
than 1 am" Then when Hartman and
Stubert got after him for printing that
roor-back about Hartman. the Captain
sighed and said, swell the HERALD
keeps bOthering me SO, aud 1 had 10
